## Summary

Loretta Lynn’s “Don’t Come Home A Drinkin’ (With Lovin’ On Your Mind)” became her first No. 1 single and one of her best-known songs. Written with her sister Peggy Sue Wright and inspired by Lynn’s marriage, it later received a cover by Tammy Wynette, linking two major country singers through a song about a woman confronting her husband’s drinking.

Lynn released the track as the title song of her 1967 album, and it earned her first Grammy nomination. Wynette included her version on her debut album, *Your Good Girl’s Gonna Go Bad*, also released in 1967; the album’s title track became Wynette’s second single and first Top 5 hit. The article also notes that Lynn said she wanted to write from a woman’s perspective without simply putting men down.
